COASTAL STEAMERS
COMPLAINT ABOUT CHANGES IN SAILING TIME.
At yesterday’s meeting of the Chamber of Commerce complaint was made by a local firm as to inconvenience caused from time to time by alterations in coastal boats’ times of sailing. The firm instanced the case of the Holmdale on July 19, which was advertised to sail at 4 p.m., when it actually sailed for Wanganui at 3 p.m.
Messrs. G. T. Hull and Co., in a letter to the chamber, excused the Holmdale on the score of the weather, and stated that it was considered advisable bv the captain to leave early in order to enable him to catch the morning tide at Wanganui. Mr. Hull took exception to a statement that the practice of sending boats away before the advertised time wag not an uncommon one.
